Description
For a given virtual partition, when the difference between the requested
ILM size and the sum of the user-specified ranges is greater than zero yet
less than the ILM granularity value, when the partition is booted, all
remaining ILM memory ranges are assigned to the virtual partition. This
causes the number of available ILM ranges to go to zero and any remaining
partitions that are down will not be bootable.
Symptoms
Below is an example where this occurs:
A partition keira1 has requested 1984MB of ILM. That partition also has
three user-specified ranges which add up to 1936MB. However, when the
partition is booted, the Monitor assigns all remaining ILM ranges to this
partition leaving no ILM for remaining partitions.
